Safety managers and others concerned with construction workers’ well-being increasingly use geospatial data for better risk awareness.

What has changed, and what areas remain for continued improvement? Exploring the impact of new safety regulations on high-risk construction activities protects human life and safeguards against career-ending injuries. 

The safety hazards on construction jobsites are high, yet head protection has seen little improvement over the past several decades.

Rather than responding after safety incidents, video analytics can enable construction site supervisors and managers to identify risks early on so potential hazards don't become actual.
